BeoSound Core solo/without the Shape - question

24 replies

When you read the user guide of the Core it is very 'shapish'.

However, it should be/is possible to use the Core just as with the Essence 2nd gen, or?

Could someone - probably a dealer amongst the Beoworlders - please tell, if the Core can be configured to integrate with a BV, that is use the speakers of the tv?

Is it different as with the Essence, or?

A pity that the user guide does not tell us all!!!

P.S. Maybe someone already has a Core at home - how are your experiences with the device?

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

The Core is indeed an upgraded Essence. Works fine in an intergrated setup.

Thanks ;-)

The BeoSound Core is indeed replacing the BeoSound Essence Box.

Here is the new web page for the BeoSound Core:

Thanks indeed - nothing should hold us back, then ;-))

I looked at the support side but did not find anything on setting up a Core integrated with a Beovision. (I.e. Using the Beolabs connected to the Television).

Have I overlooked something?

I am considering to buy a Essence or a Core for integrating it with my BV, so any feedback on this is very much appreciated!

Also, are there any experiences with the Core in terms of stability and potential issues? I am a bit weary to go for a Core Mk 1, based on previous Mk1 experiences which were not so nice.

So, any opinions on this?

I did not either - therefore this thread/question.

According to the answer of petrosbeli above, the setup and ability to integrate with a BV should be like that of the Essence (2nd gen).

And petrosbeli should know - he is in charge of that product.

Would there be some sort of integration or scenario booklet available for the Core?

If at all possible I would like to know how to integrate the Core with a ML system. Currently I have a Chrome cast audio device connected to the BS9000. Accessible by A.AUX on the Beo4.

I'l like some more functionality and integration thru our various locations.

Thanks, Beoaus

It's important to note that the integrated experience from a Beosound Core to a BV is with NG platform and older. The newer Eclipse/LG products do not support integrated setups to TV's in the same room (i.e. An audio system will no longer control a tv in the same room.)

I have a BS9000 and a BV7 in the same room. If I was to replace the BV7 with an Eclipse, are you saying I will no longer be able to integrate the BS9000 and other equipment I have connected in an ML network? Let alone connect a Core?
